Small sized Heriz antique rugs are very rare and much demanded. Exponentially more so if they are of the Serapi type.
This heart throb is amazing. In so many ways.
The squarish size denotes tremendous age. The condition is perfect. The weave is very fine as you'd expect with the finest Serapi rugs. The color palette is just right, with handsome, soft tones of peachy red and that sky blue associated with the older Serapis. The ivory wool is gorgeous. Design wise, there is a diamond medallion in the middle and enlarged ivory corners that create a lovingly dramatic effect.
A catalog piece and a collection masterpiece.
You can't only be a customer of Hadi Maktabi. While his main purpose is rug dealing, he starts with story telling and ends with history selling. That's what I call high-end art curating and closing it all with an entertaining friendship. George El Hani, CEO Levica, Lebanon π±π§
Hadi Maktabi and his staff provide comprehensive and thoughtful services to collectors and textile buyers worldwide. His knowledge of antique oriental rugs and textiles, including many fine offerings from the Levant, is unsurpassed. We have been loyal customers for over five years and have visited his Beirut premises. He has worked with us upon several occasions to select the exact Ottoman and Levantine pieces we wanted for our collection. You can be sure of quality and honesty when dealing with Hadi.
